Cuddyer (knee) remains out of the lineup Thursday against the Dodgers, Eric Stephen of True Blue LA reports.

Cuddyer is still dealing with soreness in his knee, and at this point it appears likely he'll land on the disabled list. Manager Terry Collins acknowledged Wednesday that Cuddyer's knee won't improve without extended rest, so it seems like it's only a matter of time until a DL move is made. Until then, however, he should be considered day-to-day.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Cuddyer is out of the lineup once more Thursday against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to a knee injury, according to True Blue LA.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Cuddyer is out of the lineup once more Thursday against the Los Angeles Dodgers due to a knee injury, according to True Blue LA. Cuddyer sat four consecutive games and reportedly needs extended rest, so it appears increasingly likely that he will land on the disabled list.

Manager Terry Collins acknowledged Wednesday that Cuddyer's sore knee will not improve without an extended period of rest, Jared Diamond of the Wall Street Journal reports.

Cuddyer would likely benefit from a stint on the disabled list, and that would free up a spot for a healthier player, but for the time being, it appears the Mets want to keep him on the roster so he is available for pinch-hit duty. While Cuddyer remains active for now, a disabled list stint will remain a possibility until he is again ready for regular playing time.

Cuddyer (knee) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Nationals, according to Newsday's Marc Carig.

Cuddyer is still dealing with soreness in his knee, so he will be held out Wednesday for the third straight day. It was reported earlier this week that Cuddyer could be placed on the disabled list if his knee did not improve by Wednesday, but it remains to be seen if that will happen.

Cuddyer (knee) is not in the lineup Tuesday.

Cuddyer's absence is not a surprise, as he's still dealing with a bone bruise under his left kneecap. The Mets intimated earlier Tuesday that if Cuddyer does not show improvement by Wednesday, he could be headed for the DL.

Cuddyer (knee) may be placed on the disabled list if his health doesn't improve by Wednesday, Jon Morosi of FOX Sports reports.

Cuddyer left Sunday's game with a bone bruise under his left kneecap, and was then held out of Monday's contest. The issue has been bothering him for at least the last week or two, although his performance at the plate has actually improved.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Cuddyer could be placed on the disabled list if his injured knee doesn't show signs of improvement by Wednesday, according to FOX Sports. Cuddyer left Sunday's game against the St. Louis Cardinals and was held out of the lineup Monday against the Washington Nationals as well after aggravating a bone bruise on his left knee. The issue has been bothering the veteran for over a week and team doctors have yet to find a solution. "It's much of the same, really," Cuddyer said. "It's concerning. We're trying different things to be able to get through it and get relief. To start the game, it's OK. And then as the game progresses, it gets tougher and tougher. When I took [second base in the eighth inning Sunday on] that passed ball, that ball in the dirt, it got pretty bad. There's nothing else the doctors can say. It is what it is."

Cuddyer (knee) is not in the starting lineup Monday against the Nationals, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

Cuddyer left Sunday's game due to pain resulting from the bone bruise under his left kneecap. The plan is to try one more course of action, which has yet to be disclosed. If that fails to work, Cuddyer will land on the disabled list. Cuddyer, who is being replaced in left field by John Mayberry on Monday, may be available to pinch-hit, though possibly only in an emergency.

Cuddyer left Sunday's marathon win over the Mets with a sore knee, ESPNNewYork's Adam Rubin reports.

This has been bothering Cuddyer for some time now - he's likely going to need an extended rest for the knee to heal.

Cuddyer went 3-for-5 with a solo homer Saturday in St. Louis.

Cuddyer's 2015 campaign with the Mets is proving that his elite stretch with the Rockies was mostly a product of Coors Field. The 36-year-old has delivered a mediocre eight home runs in 80 games on a .381 slugging percentage after slugging well over .500 during his stint in Colorado. Cuddyer is also striking out at a career-worst 23.3 percent rate, and his numbers up to this point show that he's clearly not the offensive solution the Mets were hoping for when they acquired Cuddyer in the offseason.

Manager Terry Collins said that Cuddyer will likely play Saturday and Sunday, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

Cuddyer is out of the lineup yet again Friday, but the Mets are sticking with Kirk Nieuwenhuis in left field after he homered three times Sunday against Arizona. If Cuddyer returns to the lineup Saturday, he'd face right-hander John Lackey.

Despite getting the added rest of the All-Star break and an off-day on Sunday, Cuddyer remains out of the lineup for the first game of the second half. There is no word of an injury for Cuddyer, but his knee was bothering him leading up to the break. Kirk Nieuwenhuis will take over in left field Friday.

Cuddyer is out of the lineup Sunday against the Diamondbacks.

Cuddyer rejoined the lineup Friday after missing two days with a knee injury, but will receive an extra day off heading into the All-Star break. Kirk Nieuwenhuis will start in left field in his place, and he'll bat fifth for the Mets.

Cuddyer (knee) will return to the lineup Friday against the Diamondbacks, Adam Rubin of ESPN New York reports.

Cuddyer's knee has been giving him problems recently, causing him to miss both Tuesday and Wednesday's contests. However, he will rejoin the lineup Friday, batting sixth for the Mets and playing in his normal left field spot.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Cuddyer will play Friday against the Arizona Diamondbacks after missing the last two games with a knee injury, according to ESPN New York.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Cuddyer will play Friday against the Arizona Diamondbacks after missing the last two games with a knee injury, according to ESPN New York. Cuddyer has been sidelined six times in the last eight games, but Mets manager Terry Collins said that he has been improving after receiving a cortisone shot last week. “He had the shot and felt pretty good,” Collins said. “What’s happened, kind of the middle of the game, fifth or sixth inning, it starts to bother him and at the end of the game it’s swelled up a little, so we’ll have him looked at again.” Cuddyer will bat sixth Friday after having his knee examined during the team's off-day Thursday. The Mets are in second place in the National League East with a 44-42 record, putting them three games behind the first-place Washington Nationals.

Cuddyer (knee) remains out of the lineup Wednesday against the Giants, and he will undergo another exam on his knee Friday, Matt Ehalt of The Record reports.

Cuddyer's knee has been "acting up" recently according to manager Terry Collins, and Wednesday will mark his second straight absence from the lineup. The veteran outfielder has battled the issue over the past couple weeks, but he's managed to avoid the disabled list. He'll receive another examination on the knee Friday, which should determine whether or not there's something more underlying that could send him to the DL.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Cuddyer remains out of the lineup Wednesday because of a knee injury and will undergo another examination on Friday, according to The Record.

New York Mets outfielder Michael Cuddyer remains out of the lineup Wednesday because of a knee injury and will undergo another examination on Friday, according to The Record. This news is somewhat concerning for Cuddyer's chances of making a quick return, as he was reportedly available to play Tuesday but was held out of the lineup as a precaution. The veteran has now started just three of the last ten games as his sore knee continues to bother him, and Friday's appointment could determine whether a stint on the disabled list will be necessary. Cuddyer has played in 76 games this season after only managing to appear in 49 for the Colorado Rockies last season, and he has seen his production decline significantly. After hitting over .330 in both of the last two seasons, Cuddyer is batting just .240 this year with six home runs and 28 RBI.

Cuddyer's balky left knee has been "acting up," according to manager Terry Collins, ESPN New York reports.

While Collins was adamant that Cuddyer is "OK to play" Tuesday, he has opted to hold him out of the lineup because the outfielder is dealing with some renewed soreness after playing in back-to-back games. The main goal is to get Cuddyer strong and healthy coming out of the All-Star break, so there's a chance he could be another maintenance day or two before the end of the week.

Cuddyer is out of the lineup Tuesday.

He has just one extra-base hit in his last seven games, and has been a pretty big disappointment for the Mets and for fantasy owners this season. Things are particularly bleak considering John Mayberry, a noted lefty killer, is starting in left field over Cuddyer even with righty Matt Cain on the mound for the Giants.

Cuddyer (sore left knee) went 0-for-5 in his return to the starting lineup Sunday and is 8-for-56 over his past 18 games.

Cuddyer missed two games with the injury before returning to action as a pinch-hitter Friday and then seeing two at-bats Saturday. He looks lost at the plate, allowing good pitches to sail past him while swinging at pitches out of the zone. With few available options, the Mets likely will run Cuddyer out there nearly every day, despite his struggles.
